Symptoms of a hernia of the white line of the abdomen may be dyspeptic disorders:
- belching;
- heartburn;
- nausea.
Infringement of swollen tissues usually occurs at the time of their sudden squeezing in the gates of the hernia.
Strangulated hernia provokes the appearance of:
- of rapid, sharp growing pains in the abdominal cavity;vomiting;
- nausea;
- delayed gases and stool;
- in the feces appears blood;
- hernia does not fit even in the supine position and with the help of hands.
Diagnosis of a hernia of the white line of the abdomen
When the palpation of the hernia is detected without much difficulty.
A painful, dense bulging of a round or oval shape is identified, with dimensions from one to twelve centimeters in diameter.
The most clearly hernial protrusion is contoured through the anterior wall of the peritoneum when the trunk is tilted backward( this movement relieves tension on the white line).Adjustable hernia allows palpating the hernial slit-like gates.
Auscultation allows you to listen to the rumbling coming from the area above the hernial sac.
The following procedures are performed:
- barium radiography of the stomach;
- esophagogastroduodenoscopy( gastroscopy);
- of a hernia;
- MSCT of the peritoneum.
Differential diagnosis of a herniated white abdominal line is usually performed with:
- cholecystitis;
- pancreatitis;

Treatment of a hernia of the white line of the abdomen
Conservative treatment of hernia is absent.
In all cases, without exception, surgery is required to remove the hernia of the white line of the abdomen.
During the operation, you should select and open the hernial sac.
After this, as a rule, the contents of the hernia are inspected and the omentum fragment is removed.
The peculiarity of this operation is the obligatory removal of diastase( divergence) of the rectus muscles on the white line of the abdomen.
Plastic surgery is possible:
- stretch plastic( local tissues);
- is not stretchy( synthetic prosthetics).
Plastic surgery of the hernia of the white abdominal line with local tissues quite often leads to a relapse of the disease.
The greatest preference is given to the elimination of aponeurosis defects by hernioplasty, in which a prosthetic mesh is installed. This mesh serves as a reliable obstacle to the possible recurrence of a hernia.
The mesh is set:
- over the aponeurosis( ONLAY);
- under aponeurosis( SUBLAY);
- in the lumen of the aponeurosis( INLAY);
- inside the abdominal cavity( INTRAABDOMINAL).
The probability of relapse after surgery is extremely small.
It is understood that after carrying out such operations, a special diet is required, aimed at ensuring the safety of the postoperative suture. Food should be taken in small, divided portions.
The main condition for choosing products is the lack of food elements that cause gas generation processes.
